    I had a flatbed on my Tacoma for awhile, it was homemade so nothing to brag about. Sorry for the picture, it is the only one i have on my computer.

    considering doing this myself as my bed has a large dent in the rear of it. I've looked around for awhile and only seen a few online that i liked. My other option would be if i could find a utility bed which i think would be pretty awesome.

    That was built by Hackster on pirate4x4. Rest are just random ones i've found.

    Those shortened regular cabs are awesome. Except the first one is a bit low in the rear.

    cant recall where I saw it but I saw a guy with a Tonka toy truck replica using a yota. cant recall if it was 1st gen or earlier but it looked so cool with the mini dump bed and it was supposed to be a working dump bed.

    I doubt it could haul any weight though but it looked just like the toy trucks :cool:

    SMKYTXN was the first person I thought of.
    So what is the point of a flatbed? More storage area? Because some look the same size as the oem bed

    cant say for those who just do it to do it but maybe just oversized stuff that hangs over or something like that.

    I think most who do it do it because their bed was shot and its a cheap almost free alternative to putting another bed on it.
